What people liked
Simple, minimalist, well-written code
From 3 comments
Yes. And i must say that the code is very small and well written.
gbaygon on HNIn a sense, you already have, by requiring the content to be hosted elsewhere and releasing the pulling code. There is beauty in simple tools like this one. Kudos.
pork on HNCool concept and nifty execution. It is still only pseudo-anonymous, because you need a personal URL for the repo-file. Open-source it, add some basic federation, and you have…

Cool idea, quick to get started
From 3 comments
This is really cool. Really quick to get started. It would be awesome to have an option for custom DNS ! This looks like a cool way to have a bootstrapped front-end for a few…

Needs an intro explaining what it does
From 2 comments
It would help if the site mentioned this. It reminds me of an old analysis of the Mozilla website where, upon launching, it showed a full screenview that preached the gospel of…
hrabago on HNThink I get it but would like to see a shorter intro making it obvious what it does. Maybe a couple of links to demo sites.

Font rendering and CSS errors
From 2 comments
The font you've chosen is missing some characters. http://j.hackerhub.org/unicode
jstepien on HNIt seems that Chrome is indulgent with the font-family declaration. There is an error in the CSS. ``` font-family: 'Istok Web' sans-serif; ``` should be: ``` font-family: 'Istok…

Errors on missing pages and blank profile pages
From 3 comments
When you got to a URL that doesn't exist instead of throwing a 404 error it just throws an PHP error!
X-Istence on HNMy profile now shows a blank page... although my json file seems to be valid. Help? http://mats.hackerhub.org/ Great work by the way :)

Directory or categorization of pages
From 2 comments
Neat, neat, neat. Will there be a directory?
benwerd on HNperhaps one could categorize pages, eg, I mentioned something here about creating a UIpalette http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3060902 - could you pivot around that? Make the…

Customizable CSS or design
From 2 comments
Like posterous does it? Yeah, that'll be cool - I'll look into it. Next version will also include an option for overriding the CSS.
saibotd on HNSounds great! While checking the project out, I was thinking that it would be awesome if it was possible for me to do some design adjustments myself.

Questions
How duplicate IDs are handled
From 2 comments
I like the idea, and the minimalist approach. Since there is no registration, how do you deal with duplicate ids? PS: Please commit to bitbucket!
gbaygon on HNPretty interesting idea. Took me <2 min to get a page up for myself: http://driverdan.hackerhub.org/blog Are IDs first come, first serve?

Whether cache can be forced to refresh
From 1 comment
Is there a way to force a cache update or does this limit you to (at most) one daily new item?

I think the point is that you write your content in Markdown, the structure of your site in JSON, and this generates and serve HTML with a decent CSS. Interesting for programmers…
